This is already there. Some regions and amateurs do run their own DNS. I don't think it is that great, because it makes it impossible to simply transfer the entire DNS zone to a local server and have faster DNS lookups independent of an internet connection. But it works, I guess...
Delegation has its pros and cons, and I'm not overly fussed. I'm happy for ARDC or someone delegated by them to host my DNS records. I just want to be able to create and modify records for my IPs.
IMHO it would be better to offer a DNS update API, where everyone can update their own host records in an easily automated way. It of course exists in the form of the mail robot and also the web DNS editor but apparently some people think it is not good enough. (I use the mail robot myself as part of an automated update)
I'm not aware of either of those, the only documentation on the portal that I've seen refers one to their coordinator, which is not an acceptable solution for me.
